⚠️Do not worry even if fecal occult blood is negative! Why about 10% of colon cancer is missed✨
📝 Overview
🔹 Testing
The fecal occult blood test is a simple and widely used screening method, but there are cases where it becomes negative depending on the timing and amount of bleeding, and it is said that it is about 10% of all colon cancers.
🔹 easy to misunderstand
Negative does not mean there is no cancer, it means there is no bleeding detected at this time. Early small lesions and types of cancer that are difficult to bleed tend to be negative.
🔹 Correct
If you have symptoms such as bloody stools, changes in the shape of stools, abdominal pain, and unexplained weight loss, it is the most reliable method to confirm with colonoscopy regardless of the negative result.
